Auburn Could Fire Gus Malzahn But They Really Can't Afford It

​​Auburn's loss to Tennessee has revved up the anti-​Gus Malzahn engines around the Tigers once again. The famously helter-skelter coach, despite having NFL talent at quarterback and defensive line, has slipped to 4-3 with two losses against SEC teams in a row. His performance at Auburn has once again landed him in the fans' crosshairs.

32 million, need I remind you, for a coach that has gone just 37-22 at Auburn with a 1-3 bowl record since he lost to Florida State in the national championship game. Getting to a national championship should get Malzahn the heaps of praise he deserves, but since then, he's been an average to below-average coach in the SEC.

Toomer's Corner is getting impatient, especially after conference foes like Florida and Georgia have been remade overnight, yet Malzahn is allowed to wallow in his relative mediocrity.

I will never defend Gus Malzahn. I don't care what kind of fan that makes me. This man should have never been given a new contract. He's one of the worst in-game coaches out there. I don't know how anyone can claim to be an Auburn fan and defend this man. Gus "8-5" Malzahn.
